Around here, there’s no easing back into work, with the Golden Globes getting the year and awards season off to a glamorous start. This year’s ceremony was a particularly sparkling affair thanks to the enormous rock the fabulous Zendaya sported on her ring finger after she said “yes” to the equally fabulous Tom Holland. I am now on permanent “wedding watch”, eagerly waiting to see what she wears when she walks down the aisle. So many other stars brought their glamour A-game to the Globes, and we share some of our favourite looks and moments (page 16). Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster have also taken their relationship to the next level, ending months of speculation about their romance by going public with their love (page 5). And while we might…

Award-winning writer, producer and director Jeff Baena – the husband of actress Aubrey Plaza – has been lovingly remembered by his family, friends and peers. In a statement issued to People on January 7, Plaza wrote: “This is an unimaginable tragedy. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support. Please respect our privacy during this time.” A day prior, Brady Corbet paid tribute to the couple in his Best Director Golden Globes acceptance speech, saying: “Tonight, my heart is with Aubrey Plaza and Jeff’s family.” Adam Pally, 42, who worked with Baena on 2017’s The Little Hours , 2016’s Joshy and 2014’s Life After Beth , previously took to social media to honour his long-time pal. “Jeff Baena was a sweet Jewish boy from Miami,” he began. “He…

CELEBRITY SPLITS Jessica Alba and Cash Warren are “about to call it quits with a divorce filing”, according to TMZ. At the time of press, neither of the stars had commented on the report, but both have recently been seen sans wedding bands. Alba, 43, who is worth an estimated $547 million thanks to her movie career and lifestyle brand The Honest Company, took to Instagram on New Year’s Eve to reflect on 2024, saying that it was “filled with connection, growth, adventures, laughter, peace, sisterhood, transformation, rebirth, joy and so much love”. TMZ reported that the separation was “recent”, adding it was unclear exactly what had led them to this decision. In early January, the couple put on a united front to celebrate son Hayes’ 7th birthday at Universal…

It’s the end of an era. Eight years after calling time on their marriage under shocking circumstances, two of Hollywood’s most hostile exes, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, have settled their divorce. According to Jolie’s attorney, James Simon, the actress, 49, is “exhausted” but “relieved” this chapter is over, after it was announced in the New Year that the marathon case was finalised on December 30. One of the acting world’s hottest love affairs abruptly came to an end in 2016, when the Bullet Train star allegedly drunkenly got into a physical altercation with his spouse in front of their children on a flight from France to the US. Jolie then left Pitt, citing “the health of the family ”. “No-one wins in court” For Pitt, 61, the settlement means…

“I don’t think I could ever handle the jungle” Authentic is a word that gets bandied around a lot these days but it is the perfect description for Julia Morris. For more than 30 years, she’s connected on stage and screens with Australian audiences, often laying bare her own struggles in life and how she found a way through them with laughter. Just before she headed back to the jungle for her 11th season of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, sharing hosting duties with Robert Irwin for the second year, WHO caught up with the irrepressible entertainer for a private audience. From her favourite contestant to how she seems to be ageing in reverse, Morris had us in stitches. So, brace yourself for some life lessons,…

Watch out, world. Rona Glynn-McDonald is on a mission – and with partner Tony Armstrong by her side, her dedication to Country and advocating for First Nations people, she’s determined to make real change. Raised in the Northern Territory, in Mparntwe on Arrernte Country, the 28-yearold producer, DJ and activist has lived an incredible life so far.

Now, Glynn-McDonald and Thornton have joined forces for an episode of Armstrong’s new series,…

Scan to shop or visit koveandco.com.au The best products are often formed from a need and that’s exactly the backstory for Krystal Rand’s Kove & Co brand. The new mum from Queensland’s Sunshine Coast was struggling to find a bag suitable for her daughter Florence’s swimming lessons. “The ground was wet and everything was cold and wet, and I just wanted a bag that would make everything easier,” Rand tells WHO. “I ended up buying something from the States and it was exactly what I needed but just way too big and heavy. It was also really bright and a bit tacky looking but it was a good concept and I wondered if I could make it better.” From that kernel of an idea, Rand, who was on maternity leave…

You’ve been making wine since you were nine years old at your parents’ winery, Helm Wines. Did you ever consider doing anything else? Despite growing up on a winery, I never thought I’d end up a winemaker. My parents always encouraged my siblings and me to explore other careers. I studied Arts/Law at the Australian National University and whilst I enjoyed my studies and I love writing, working in an office away from the winery made me realise my true passion was wine. What’s it like working so closely with your family? Working closely with family is always an interesting balance – a bit like having two cooks in the kitchen or, in our case, two winemakers! In 2014, my husband and I purchased our own winery and vineyard separate…

BEN AFFLECK & JENNIFER LOPEZ This love story is surely one for the record books! Affleck, 52, and Lopez, 55 – aka Bennifer – first got together in 2002, meeting on the set of film Gigli, and announced their engagement in November 2002. However, the intense interest in their relationship became too much and they called off their planned September 14, 2003 wedding just days before exchanging vows. They officially split in January 2004. Each went on to marry and start a family, before shocking the world when they reunited 17 years later, in April 2021.

Just over a year after Hugh Jackman and wife Deborra-lee Furness announced their shock divorce, the Aussie Wolverine actor has hard launched his new relationship. Following months of speculation that Jackman, 56, had fallen for Sutton Foster, 49, the pair stepped out together holding hands and laughing after an intimate dinner in Santa Monica on January 6.

Her new eight-episode lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan , makes its debut on Netflix on January 15. “I’ve always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it,” she said in the promo clip.

Lily Allen embarked on quite the undercover sleuthing mission to discover if husband David Harbour was using dating apps amid marital woes. Fans first spotted the singer and actress’ profile on celebrity app Raya in mid-December, noting that Allen, 39, was seeking relationships with women. Reports now suggest that she was searching the app and cross-referencing them with women Harbour, 49, follows on Instagram as she attempted to “figure out who he was seeing”, The Mail on Sunday reported.

Whether it was hanging off the monkey bars or attempting the perfect cartwheel, most of us spent at least part of our childhoods upside down. As adults, most of us forget these games – that is, unless you’ve ever tried yoga. Kate Kendall, yoga director and co-founder of Flow Athletic, says there are a number of benefits to upside-down poses – or inversions – that make them integral to yoga. You don’t need to be able to do handstands, in fact many simple poses count as inversions. “The downward dog is an inversion,” Kendall says. “They are not limited to standing on one’s hands!” WHAT IS AN INVERSION? “Technically an inversion is any shape we put the body in where the head is below the heart and hips – or…

Feel your feelings rather than pushing for progress. CANCER JUN. 21–JUL. 21 Don’t stress, because the Crab is used to moving sideways. Issues you thought were done and dusted are now back on the table. Annoying as this might be, the chance to do something twice can often make things better.

Five decades after Janet Jackson first performed in Las Vegas – taking the stage alongside her siblings as the Jackson 5 at the MGM Grand in 1974 – the superstar singer is back. Her new 10-date residency at the Resorts World Theatre, Janet Jackson: Las Vegas, kicked off a four-show run over New Year’s that will return with six shows to conclude over Valentine’s Day weekend.

The funnyman bombed McCarthy and Amy Adams – but who is the partner in crime alongside him?

But…

ELTON JOHN Elton John, who’s worth around $650 million, is another notable celebrity with firm principles around wealth. “Of course I want to leave my boys in a very sound financial state.

ASHTON KUTCHER AND MILA KUNIS Mila Kunis won’t be raising their kids to depend on a trust fund. Neither grew up wealthy and Kutcher said of his two children, daughter Wyatt, 10, and son Dimitri, 8: “hopefully they’ll be motivated to have what they had or some version of what they had.” SIMON COWELL Simon Cowell has another reason for donating his $700 million fortune rather than…

As the focus shifts from our wardrobes to our well-stocked bathroom cabinets, consumers are becoming more attuned to the beauty they’re adding to cart. Just as we are turning our backs on fast fashion in favour of considered minimalism, we are shunning harmful ingredients and tuning into more sustainable beauty products. In this new, more mindful era of conscious consumerism, we are seeking things like refillable packaging, a lower carbon footprint, closed loop manufacturing and organic certification. WATER CONSERVATION The management of water is fundamental for our future. And with water being the beauty industry’s most-used ingredient – 70-90 per cent of formulas depend on it – H2O and its conservation has moved to the foreground.
